This book shows how this conquest is at the heart of the dynamics of contemporary capitalism. Jim McGuigan argues that 'cool capitalism' incorporates disaffection into capitalism itself, absorbing rebellion and thereby neutralising opposition to the present system of culture and society.McGuigan explores a huge variety of cultural examples, from the sleek images of mainstream advertising, to the fringes of artistic production, offering a vigourous critique of our understanding of subversion, resistance and counter-culturalism.Has capitalism really colonised our planet? McGuigan shows that there is still some space left for rebellion against the seductive power of the free market economy. 606 $aCapitalism 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCapitalism. 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects. 676 $a306.342 700 $aMcGuigan$b Jim$0676332 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785173803321 996 $aCool capitalism$93699915 997 $aUNINA
